You wish the democrats would nominate someone you liked? There's the same problem here with the ALP. I suppose it's Rupert Murdoch, what he has done to the sense of political possibility, I'm sure you know what I'm trying to say about what he is responsible for.
In the USA though you have wonderful magazines. I read two, Harpers and the New York Review of Books. (Not mainstream, of course.) Nothing like that here.
We should always vote for the person. John McCain is proof of that for me. Old fashioned things, appropriated by this lot (Bush, Blair, Howard), like values, decency, concern for the common good, you'd have things to add to the list.
There was something that really got me when Bush met Howard. Bush said 'He's got good values'. What can you say? Hubris? Arrogance? That's just a start.
